Ron Paul will address University of Iowa supporters and community members at an Oct. 21 youth-oriented gathering in Iowa City.

The event, which is free and open to supporters of all ages, will be held at University of Iowa’s Memorial Union in the Main Lounge. Doors will open to the public at 7:15 p.m. Those who RSVP by visiting http://www.ronpaul2012.com/university-of-iowa-ron-paul-event/ will be allowed to enter 15 minutes early.

The visit will coincide with the university’s homecoming festivities.

“No other candidate running for the GOP nomination generates support from students like Ron Paul does, and it is the youth vote that will help determine the 2012 election,” Edward King, National Youth Coordinator for the Ron Paul 2012 Presidential Campaign said in a press release. “That’s why Ron Paul enjoys bringing his message directly to students.”

Youth for Ron Paul launched in September. Since its inception more than 7,100 people joined the campaign, forming more than 100 chapters.
